NEW tandem-axle semi-trailer
developed by Boden Trailers Ltd. has pressed-steel frame side. members incorporating a 20-in.-deep section from the landing-gear mounting position to just in front of the bogie. At the rear the frame is 16 in. deep and at thc front the depth is reduced to 10 in. over the coupling area. The flange width is 4 in. and the frame thickness is 0-3125 in.
Capacity of the new model 23/1010/R—is 23 tons, and lengths of from 30 ft. are offered, the design enabling trailers up to 45 ft. long to be built without the need for " trussing" of the side members. The general construction follows existing Boden practice, crossmembers, outriggers, side raves and so on being of pressed steel. A two-spring suspension layout is standard, with Hendrickson rubber suspension available as an alternative.
